Swim Spa

which in conjunction with spa sanitizing and 
water balancing chemicals provides you with 
cleaner, healthier water, reduced chemical 
usage, and protects your skin from chemically 
induced irritation.

Sanitizing with Ozone

Swim Spa products vary in size, and in the 
frequency and conditions of use. For these 
reasons you will need to establish your 
sanitizing program based upon your own 
personal use. When using ozone, you should 
start by balancing your water chemistry as 
you normally would. A Swim Spa should be 
fi ltered a minimum of six hours per day during 
which time ozone will be mixed into the water. 
If your Swim Spa is heavily used, this run time 
should be increased.

The amount of a residual sanitizer (chlorine 
or bromine) that you maintain in the 
water will also vary depending on use. It is 
recommended that you maintain a residual of 
3.0–5.0 ppm. Periodically, and after periods of 
heavy use, it is necessary to “shock” your Swim 
Spa with large amounts of sanitizer.

NOTE: Extra fi ltration can be provided by 
manually starting a clean-up cycle. Turn 
Pump 1 on in low speed. The pump will 
operate for 4 hours and then automatically 
turn off . The heater, ozone generator and UV 
system will also operate during this period if 
the controls are set in Standard mode.

Specialty Chemicals

While ozone may signifi cantly reduce the 
usage of specialty chemicals (chlorine and 
bromine), it is not a substitute for these 
chemicals. All chemicals should continue to be 
monitored, especially during periods of heavy 

usage and when changing or replenishing the 
Swim Spa water.

Draining your Swim Spa

NOTE: Always turn the circuit breaker off  
when you drain your Swim Spa. Do not turn 
the spa heater back on until you have full fl ow 
coming from the jets for several minutes.

High concentrations of impurities caused by 
water evaporation, body oils, perfumes, and 
other contaminants may accumulate in the 
Swim Spa and cannot be fi ltered out.

NOTE: Consequently, it is advisable to drain 
your Swim Spa and refi ll it with fresh water 
every six to eight weeks, or more often 
depending on the amount of use. 

All Swim Spa products are equipped with 
multiple internal drains. These drains are used 
to remove water from internal plumbing, 
when Winterizing your Swim Spa (See pg. 32), 
or if the water is severely contaminated.

NOTE: Use a standard garden hose to direct 
the water to an appropriate disposal area. 

All 

internal

 drain hose(s) are located behind 

the front access panel. Remove the access 
panel screws and the access panel. Locate 
the drain hose(s). For each hose drain valve, 
remove the cap, attach the garden hose, and 
turn the valve handles, located on the drain 
valve body, 90° counter-clockwise. Water 
will begin to fl ow. When all water has been 
evacuated, turn the valve handle clockwise 
until it stops. Remove garden hose and replace 
the cap. Repeat for each internal drain hose.
